Hola Cairo has the BEST location, near the Egyptian Museum, a Go Bus station, 2 metro stations, and plenty of food places and shopping. Mohammad and Mostafa are the BEST, really really helpful and accommodating and super nice with lots of great advice. Can't beat a free breakfast, a balcony for the dorm, mosquito spray for the room, and tours available at the desk. Bring your own mosquito body spray as they get pretty bad at night, and enjoy the shisha downstairs in the alley! RECOMMENDED!!!

This is the second time Ive stayed at this hostel during my trip through Egypt. Its a great place. Small and friendly. Dont expect the standards in security and facilities you might find in mass hostels in Europe or Australia but this place is far better than most of Egypt's budget hotels. And you cant beat the price, staff and location! Its also hard to find better hostel beds than here.

It's good value & the owner is really nice. The other young guys working there let the place down...They tried to make us pay twice because they didn't write things down. Checking in took 40 minutes because they had to make the beds. The hostel is in the 5th floor... not the 4th. The toilets kept running out of paper and we had to keep asking for it. Small improvements would help make it more pleasant.
The pyramid tour from the hostel is great and so are the airport transfers.
